Title is a vague reference to "Tramp Art", a late 19th, early 20th century bastard folk art style. Hobos, supposedly would create objects, from found or natural materials - they were sometimes picture frames, which were traded to housewives for food.

It is a bit difficult to understand what the framed subject is – more contrast may have helped.

This doesn't have much in it to interest me - the shack(???) is too obscured

Shooting for an OOBIE here? :) I'm not familiar with the term "hobo frame" so I'm missing the point of your photograph unfortunately as far as the challenge context is concerned. The photo itself does have a sense of mystery to it. Makes the viewer want to know more about the building in the woods from curiosity. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Sorry but there is so many trees in the way that you can't see the subject very well

I like the picture but I had to look kind of hard to see the "frame".

I love the use of real nature, not set up shots. This is an excellent example.
